Printed Semiconductors

Printed semiconductors are fabricated by depositing materials directly onto a substrate, typically using a combination of printing processes that include inkjet and gravure printing. This has the potential to open new markets in which semiconductors are printed directly onto various surfaces. Diodes are the initial focus of the technology, and they will be followed by more complex transistor functions. RFID tags and sensors form a key market for printed semiconductors. Some electronic paper technology uses a variant of printed semiconductors.

Many companies are running different types of projects to improve the customer experience, each with unique challenges. IT application leaders supporting customer experience leaders will achieve better results if they start by auditing existing work and coordinating existing efforts.

In 2025, commerce will come to you. Virtual reality, augmented reality, wearables, video and other new touchpoints will enable new interaction models, which means that buyers will not need to go to digital commerce sites. Moreover, peer-to-peer, 3D printing and drones will enable new sourcing and fulfillment models. In this session, we discuss these new opportunities so you can prepare to take advantage of them.

In 2025, how and what organizations sell will evolve into a world of commerce that comes to you. Businesses and consumers will have new ways to source items and services never seen before. Technologies such as the Internet of Things, smart machines and others will enable new commerce business models. Virtual reality, mobile, social and other new touch points will enable new interaction models. Peer to peer, 3D printing, drones, cloud and others will enable new sourcing and fulfillment models. Information and algorithms will guide and bind these all into the new world leaders of commerce. CIO's will need to envision this new world of commerce and put into place the necessary technologies to be ready for their organizations move forward on the road ahead of them.
